Johnny's Deviled Eggs
You MUST have deviled eggs for holidays, special events, bar mitzvah's and that occasional random Thursday
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 C mayonnaise
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- 1/4 t Celery Salt
- Paprika (Sweet for those that don't like spice, hot for those with tastebuds)
Instructions
Boil and peel the eggs
- Bring pan of water to a boil
- Gently lower eggs into water
- Lower the heat to a simmer
- Cook the eggs for 13 minutes
- Remove the eggs from the pan and immediately place them into a bowl of heavily iced water for a minimum of 5 minutes
- Gently tap the eggs on a solid surface, all around the egg.
- Peel the shells off, rinse the eggs in cold water and set aside for next step
Prepare the eggs for deviling
- Cut each egg in half
- Remove egg yolk and place in separate bowl
- Place eggs, cut side up, on a platter
Prepare the filling
- Take bowl with egg yolks and add all ingredients except paprika
- Mash and mix egg yolk mixture together with fork until smooth
Fill the egg halves
- There are a couple ways to fill the egg halves. I like to scoop the egg mixture into a zip lock back and then cut a corner out of the bag. You can then use this similar to a piping bag. If you have a piping bag, use that instead.
- Gently squeeze mixture into each half, filling the cavity
- If you don't want to do the piping method, you can also use a spoon to fill the eggs
- Finally, sprinkle paprika over the eggs. I like to use sweet paprika on half and hot paprika on the other. Spicy deviled eggs are awesome!
